Absolutely love our Chautauqua location 💜 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

Chautauqua presentation 4️⃣ . Paula Pant led us in some interactive exercises instead of a formal presentation 🥳 . Paula’s exercises were great opportunities to really dig deeper in understanding our priorities. And also allowed us all to laugh and have fun together 🤣 . First - we had to describe our ideal day, meaningful change, and fulfilling work. And ask why we answered the way we did. Repeatedly. Keep digging deeper 🤩 . Second - team communication. We were collaboratively building sentences about meaningful change and fulfilling work. It was interesting to try to make a point while incorporating other people in your answer. One word at a time 🤪 . Third - and most hilarious - the hitchhiker improv game. Great practice asking and answering questions with people you don’t know well. Really listening to each other and respecting the answers people give. And of course each answer gets more hysterical than the last 😆🤣 . And of course after the games and exercises Paula led us all in a really detailed group discussion about residential real estate investing and property management. We didn’t do very well as rental owners ourselves but you never know, we just might try that again some day. We have learned so much more about real estate investing from Paula’s podcast than we ever learned in practice so we would do better next time around for sure. Thanks @paulapant 🙏 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

We love finding street art during our travels 💜 . Here’s some of the fabulous street art we found in San Pablo Ecuador 🖼 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustalix2

Chautauqua presentation 3️⃣ . Tanja Hester’s presentation was fabulous! Tanja is basically the Captain Marvel of FI 🦸‍♀️💜 . Some of the spectacular ideas from Tanja’s presentation that we are now focused on for our lives are... 👉💡 . How you can use your FI for good in your community or even more big picture to make the world a better place. We all have the power to advocate for others, and those of us who are FI basically have a superpower we can use for GOOD 💪 . It’s important to us that we see past ourselves. And we are so grateful to @our_nextlife for the next level ideas and positive reinforcement on these topics. We don’t have to optimize everything. We want to make sure we are spending our time and money based on what we value most 💜 . This Chautauqua experience is exactly what we need right now as we plan for what we want and need next. We are so grateful for all of the input we have received during this Chautauqua 🙏 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

You can read the full interview on the NN blog at nomadnumbers.com 👉🌐 . Thank you Nomad Numbers for interviewing us! We really enjoyed the experience 🤗 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

Chautauqua presentation 2️⃣ . Vicki Robin’s presentation was intense and kind of mind blowing because she shared such a wealth of information and experience 🤩 . What stuck out most to us was the idea of using our FI freedom to create a life that is Interdependent and Inclusive, rather than becoming completely Independent 💚🤗 . Reading “Your Money or Your Life” in 2014 really grounded us on the path to FI 📔 . Here at the Chautauqua we are finding a fabulous community of like minded people who are full of inspiring ideas 💡 . We’ve been FI and retired for just over a year now. We feel settled in our choices and ready to start working on the next project - community building 🥰 . Talking with Vicki in particular is incredibly moving and thought provoking. We are so grateful to @vickirobin for all of the encouragement and wisdom she shared this week 🙏 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

Chautauqua presentation 1️⃣ . Cheryl’s presentation focused on Happiness 😊 . Finding your own happiness, having gratitude, creating and managing relationships, keeping yourself grounded, doing what you can to give back to your community 🧺 . Avoiding worry, blame, and complaining 🚫 . Creating a life of meaning and purpose 👌 . We are excited to implement some of Cheryl’s ideas and exercises into our routines. Thank you Cheryl 🥰 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

Day 1 of Chautauqua Ecuador 🤩 . We visited the Quitsato Sundial on the Equatorial Line in Cayambe 🤓 . We learned some new things about the way the sun moves around the earth and how the seasons change ☀️ . Our group also had a blast goofing around in the sun along the line that marks the or Zero Parallel 🤸‍♀️ . Yay Chautauqua 🎉 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2

On our last day at the farm we pitched in to help with bagging the fresh roasted coffee beans 👏 . It was really fun to help out and see the process all the way to completion 👌 . And now that we’ve had this fabulous brew and lived with the smell of freshly roasted coffee we are ruined forever 😳 . Regular store bought coffee off the shelf seems completely flavorless and boring 🤦‍♀️ . We were doing just fine with cheap crap coffee until now but it’s going to be a while before we can drink that store bought stuff again without making a stinky face 😖 . We are going to savor our 1 precious bag of this yummy Above the Clouds Coffee 🥰☕️👌 . . . . . #alloptionsconsidered #itsjustusalix2
